AHYA Multi-Media - QSEP

He (Mufti Abdur Rahim Lajpuri) says, “(to say) O Allah! For the
right of such and such! (Ilahi Behaq-e-fulan!) is proper. Some
divines have dissented from the word ‘Bahaqq-e’ and have argued
on the basis of the saying, ‘The creatures have no right upon the
Creator.’ But this is not correct.” 355
The Deobandis thus refute the correct beliefs of their Imam, though
they dare not mention his name, rather say: “Many learned ones
consider it prohibited…” or “Some divines have dissented from
the word…” as in the statements of both, Moulana Zakariyah and
Mufti Abdur Rahim Lajpuri.
The Hadeeth of Blind Man 356
Those who consider Tawassul to be permissible by means of the
status, honor and right of Allah’s Messenger and righteous
people, often quote the Hadeeth of the blind man to support their
erroneous view.
Narrated Uthmaan Ibn Haneef: ‘A blind man came to the Prophet
and said: ‘Supplicate to Allah that He should cure me.” So he
said, if you wish I will supplicate for you, and if you wish I will
delay that for that is better (and in a narration, ‘and if you wish
have patience and that is better for you’). So he said: “Supplicate
to Him.” So he ordered him (the blind man) to make wudhu
well, and to pray two Raka’ahs and to supplicate with this Du’aa:
“O Allah I ask You and turn to You by means of Your Prophet
Muhammad , the Prophet of mercy, O Muhammad I have
turned by means of you (i.e. your Du’aa) to my Lord in this
need of mine, so that it may be fulfilled for me, O Allah accept
his Shafaah on my behalf, and accept my Shafaah for him (to be
accepted for me).” So, the man did it and he was cured.’ 357
